That was where I got confused: many issues are easy to reproduce
('test'), but need some thinking to get automated tests right.

urllib always feels like this to me, except 'thinking' -> 'getting
lost over and over'. Reading 'test needed' as 'automated test needed',
things make a lot of sense. I have to test my patch against a good
representation of the issue, regression tests must pass, 'automated
test needed' fits well :)
